Hye

I try to migrate one NT4 server with "Streams Environment"
service installed to windows 2000 Adv Server.

The problem is that one of software required that
the "streams environment" was installed..

But what kind of service I need to install for running my
software.

Have you got an idea ?

Thanks
 
Hi,

The Streams-compliant protocols that need the Streams environment are not
common. You must modify the Netstrm.inf file for this to appear in the
protocol list.

Here are the instructions for installing the streams environment:

1. Open the %SystemRoot% folder in Windows Explorer.

2. On the Tool menu, click Folder Options.

3. Click the View tab.

4. In the Advances Settings box, click "Show hidden files and folders".

5. Click OK.

6. Edit the %SystemRoot%\Inf\Netstrm.inf file by using any text editor
(such as Notepad).


In the [ControlFlags] section, place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of
the following line:

ExcludeFromSelect = MS_Streams

In the [Streams.ndi] section, change this line



Characteristics = 0x28 ; NCF_NOT_USER_REMOVABLE | NCF_HIDDEN

to this:



Characteristics = 0x00 ; NCF_USER_REMOVABLE

7. Save and close the Netstrm.inf file.

8. Right-click My Network Places on the desktop, and then click
Properties.

9. Right-click Local Area Connections, and then click Properties.

10. Click Install.

11. Click Protocol, and then click Add.

12. In the Network Protocol box, click Streams Environment.

13. Click OK.

14. Reboot the computer to complete the installation of the protocol.


Thanks,
